Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a person with a long (more than six months) course.
In general, this is the result of a pathological infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the causative agent of the infection.
Lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications up to male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogenic (pathogenic) microorganisms cause the development of an inflammatory reaction over a long period of time.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens in chronic prostatitis:
- Non-specific bacterial infection- Pathogenic microorganisms that can cause the development of inflammatory reactions in various organs include streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the human urogenital tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
Knowing the cause of the development of chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the selection of the next rational etiotropic therapy.
The pathogen is aimed at destroying the pathogen.
Other factors can also lead to the development of chronic prostatitis.
Blood stasis in the small pelvis causes a lack of oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their renewal and resistance to infection.
A general decrease in the body's protective function leads to the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a detrimental effect on human health and leads to a decrease in the body's defenses.
Among the factors that lead to the development of chronic prostatitis are problems in the intimate life of the patient.
It is the cessation of sexual intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sex life, abstinence for a long time.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Excessive work, stressful situations, among other reasons can cause prostate problems.
Alcohol consumption and heavy smoking cause disorders of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of disease:
- Bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatodinia.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the discharge.
Antibacterial drugs are needed to treat this variety.
A non-bacterial condition is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the secretion of the gland.
Prostatodinia is a period in which the patient complains of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretion.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology
Patients with prostate problems often have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, respiratory and digestive system diseases.
The therapy regimen for these patients will be different.
An appropriate diagnosis must be made to properly regulate treatment.
Narrow specialists may be involved to consult in such cases.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
By the age of 30, an infectious agent is often the cause of prostatitis.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Timely treatment of bacterial and viral infections is effective.
Poor sex life, lack of hygiene and sedentary lifestyle play a role.
Patients rarely see a doctor at the first sign of illness.
The disease progresses and becomes chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and minimizing the risk of impact.
Annual screening is recommended for prophylactic purposes.
Obesity treatment
The problem of extra weight can negatively affect a man's internal organs.
Increased cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels lead to metabolic diseases.
Lack of regular physical activity causes blood stasis in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on overall health.
